U.S. President Trump's statement, "Iranians, continue your protests. Help is on the way," has raised concerns about an attack on Tehran, prompting a series of actions from various countries. Israel evacuated Nevatim Air Base, while the U.S. and the U.K. decided to evacuate their base in Qatar. Numerous ships en route to Iran anchored in international waters, and the German airline Lufthansa suspended all flights to Israel and Iran.
As protests sparked by rising living costs in Iran spread across the country, U.S. President Donald Trump's consecutive reactions heightened concerns in the Middle East. Following Trump's threat the day before yesterday, stating, "Iranian patriots, continue your protests. I have canceled all my meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stops. Help is on the way," many countries began to make decisions regarding Iran in anticipation of possible intervention.
